SCREEN AND STORM SASH HANGER Filed April 4, 1938 ATTORNEYS window frame.Figure 5 is a fragmentary front elevation show- Patented Feb. 6, 1940 v1 I -S TE This invention relates to hangers for screens and storm sashand has. for the primary object the provision of an efiicient andinexpensive device of this character which may be installed by anyoneand which will permit a screen or storm sash to have a hinging movementand to be easily and quickly removed' and replaced on a window framewhen, desired.

With these and other objects in view, this invention consists in certainnovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts tobe hereinafter more fully described and Figure 2 is a fragmentarysectional view taken on the line 2-1-2 of Figure. 1. t

Figure 3 is a fragmentary front elevation showing my inventionconnectinga half screen to a window frame.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary front elevation showing my inventionconnecting the storm sash to a ing the parts of my invention reverselyarranged Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 1 indicatesawindow frame, -2 a storm sash, 3 a

screen of the full length type and 4 a screen of the half screen type.Thepurpose of illustrating the different forms of screen in the stormsash is to show clearly how these devices can be easily mounted on. thewindow frame by the employment of hangers 5 forming the subject matterof the presentinvention. g

Each hanger 5 consists of an attaching plate 6 apertured to receivescrews or like fasteners "I.

An arm 8 is formed on one edge of the plate 6' adjacent one end of thelatter and said arm in cludes angularly related portions 9 and III, the

portion Ill having a slot H. The portion 9 of the arm 8.

arm 8 mayextendfrom the plate 6 at either a e or if desired, the user ofthis device can bend the arm 8 to extend at any desired angle from theattaching plate to meet with building constructions.

The present invention further consists of an attaching plate l2aperturedto receive screws or like fasteners l3 and has formed on oneend a hook I4 to extend through the slot H in the In use, a pair, ofhangers is employed for the mounting of either a screen or storm sashand;

the attaching plates 6 of thehangers may be secured to the upper cornersof the screens, as; shown in Figures 1 and 3, orto the upper corners ofthe storm sash, as shown in Figure 4. The

substantially degree angle or a degree angle arms may be arranged toextend either inwardly or outwardly, as shown in Figures 1, 3, 4, 5, 6and 7. The attaching plates 6 are secured to the window. frame and withthe .hooks e'xtending through the slots ll so that the hanger 5 will,hold screens or the storm sash efficiently secured to the window frameto prevent the entrance of insects or prevent wind from getting behindthe frames of the sash or screens and disturbing the location of theframes of saidwsash or screens with respect to the window frame. Windowframes used in conjunctionwith brick buildings the hangers to saidfaces. The hangers may be secured to such frames, as suggested in Figure7 with the attaching plate 6 secured to the inner edge of the windowframe I, and the portion 9 extending inwardly and away from the saidframe and having the integrally formed end lil lying in a plane parallelto the plane of the screen 3. The attaching plates I2 are secured to thescreen adjacentthe top edge, with the hook portion re-'-' ceived withinthe elongated slot l I in the end II). The attaching plates 6 of thehangers when secured to the corners of the screen frames willreinforce'such corners and prevent separation of the members of theframe of the screen.

Having described the invention, I claim:

1. A. hanger comprising companion sections; one of said sections havinga flat base of substantially rectangular formation in plan, atransversely extending arm portion integrally attached to one of thelongitudinal edges of the base adjacent the top edge thereof,theextremity of the arm having an elongated slot and the portion of the armimmediately laterallyv of the said base extending singularly upwardlyand outwardly from the base and being bent to position the extremitythereof in a plane parallel with and laterally of the base above thesaid top edge; and the other of the saidsections adapted to bepositioned laterally of the base portion of the .first-mentioned sectionbelow the extremity of the arm and being of substantially triangularformation in plan and having the apex thereof rolled upwardly toconstitute a hook adapted to register with and to be received by theelongated slot in the extremity of the arm of the said first-mentionedsection.

2. A hanger comprising companion sections adapted to be secured to awindow frame and [sash respectively; one of said sections including anelongated substantially rectangular base portion having spaced aperturesto receive attaching screws, a transverse extension attached to one ofthe longitudinal edges of the base said screws and with the apex thereofrolled upwardly to comprise a hook adapted to register with and to bereceived by' the elongated slot in the transverse extension of the saidfirst-mentioned section.
